Everyone has been polarised into an "Us vs Them" mindset. Keep us divided and channeling our collective rage at each other, lest we actually find power in our overwhelming numbers. It hurts.

I'm ready to get downvoted, but this is exactly the reason I'm incredibly sceptical about any conflicts going on, including wars. I just think the possibility of the "two sides" working together just to polarize society is too goddamn high. But of course, as soon as you bring a subject like this into a discussion, you immediately get bombarded with the "you are against my idea so you're an extremist" kind of vocabulary... For example: "Omg you're pro-russian" - meanwhile I volunteer to help Ukrainian people, but I guess I love Russia when I do that. Shit's wild...

It’s domestic as well. Red vs Blue is just a distraction and you can’t point this out because nearly everyone is divided along those lines to the point of ignoring getting fucked up the ass.

Divide and conquer...

I think Roosterteeth did a better job than just "a distraction".

Let's give them some credit

opportunists would gather around a piece of shit if it benefited them
